CORRESPONDENCE.
Speaker Spells.

Perhaps it might nppease the chagrin
of the writer of spice from Speaker
TO be informed that the outsiders, who
wrote and published thosr abOminaOle
facts. has the sUyerest censure of the
North Speaker school FOR doing SO. as
il caused some friend Of the Red school
to show how he could publish abusive
compositions. But the facts Of the last
match are given. ami we will give the
facts of the first one. and dare anyone
to gainsay them, and ask the fair-mind-
ed reader to judge in the case.
The first time spelling down, Miss
Jameson pronouncSng. out of their
speller. they had four left when We
were down. Tie second time, our
teacher pronouncing, out of our book
we had ten left when they were down
They had twenty-six spoilers and We
had sixteen.
And now if they would as soon spell
as to accuse of falsehOod, those who
don't belong to the school, we viii
meet them and will not object to any
of their spoilers either.

The history of this matter is this
Last fall, Doctor Wells, who also re-
sides in Brockway Centre. was called
upon by Mrs. Whites son, Henry, with
whom she resides, to visit his mother,
and made two visits and furnished
some little medicine. Some time after
wards DIR. Wells asked Mr.. White for
some money. He replied that he did
not then have any OH hand but would
pay as soon as he could get some. No
thing was further said or done about
the Doctors bill until some time in
January last, when it appeared that
DR.. Wells had got his pay from the
county, through John D. Jones the
supervisor of this town.
Mr.. nor Mrs. White had at no time
been spoken to in any manner about
this, nor has either at any time init
mated to Jones or Wells, that county
aid was desirable. If such, at any time
should have been offered, it would have
been Indignantly resented. The life

works by his hands for his mother, was
never known to complain and is per.

| Housing Sheep.
1t is one of the most prevalent and
persistent errors Of the farmer that
sheep need housing less than any other
domestic animal because they have a
better natural covering. We are told
by these believers that sheep will stand
quietly for hours in rain when by
moving ten feet they could get under
cover. There are generally two rea-
sons for this fact. First: the house is
so foul with ammonia Though the flock.
master, whose nostrils are several feet
above the floor. may not perceive 1T
that they will suffer before they will
enter it. Second: Unless the rain il
violent, it takes it some time to penet
rate to the skin OF the animal anC
cause them inconvenience. An ami
NAL bearing pelage OF short thin hair!
though it experiences discomfort from
the falling drops sooner than one which
has dense coat. is really better pre-
pared to resist the hardships of out
door life than the other, for the reason
that the water dries off sooner.
/ Cold is an enemy OF life, and chill:
are always loss. External chill
drive the blood in upon the viscera ant
produce congestion in greater or les
degree, pneumonia, fever, colds in tn

sheep to get a wetting every few day
through the winter, wonders why the

A puICh LANDSCAPE.
Scenes That Arc Rcstful and Healing TO
the Weary Eyes of tho Traveller.

Scenes That Arc Rostfui and Healing to
| the Weary Eyes of the Traveller.
A Dutch landscape presents cer-
tainly not unplcasing uniformity. The
eye takes in Mt once broad expanse.
The view is bounded by trees that are
only in rows of small groves, but seem
to become forest as the distance in
creases. The most striking feature is
the broad meadows, literally covered
with cattle, such rs are seen in the pict-
ures of native artists. These fields,
when the ground is near the level of tho
water, are divided into parallelograms
separated by small canals or bitches
covered with aquatic vegetation. Com
munication between parts of the same
property is maintained by low bridges
scarcely rising above the general sur
tace. Here and there are farm-houses
on the brink of u canal or among the
fields, usually encircled by garden
and few trees, and perhaps the ground
slightly raised or depressed by II low
dixie. The farm-houscs resemble in n
general way those of Belgium, with
their steep roofs covered with tiles and
their small windows. They are not so
trinity kept, and the scattering villages
are not so neat. Now and then church
may be noticed standing alone, on
ground raised three or four feet above
the plain, surrounded by wall, its
spirc rising from mass of foliage.
There are here and there villages
stretched for mile or more in single
file on either side canal which serves
as the only street, Windmills are
visible on every hand, each supported
by tower so low that when the arms
revolve they seem almost to touch the
ground Nowhere can they be seon in
such numbers or as closely grouped rs
in some localities about San Francisco
bay. They are well made and well
kept, but no longer or more powerful
than can be seen in many localities in
France. Over these monotonous land
scapes there bends sky, not Italian,
not deeply, darkly, beautifully blue,
not even at autumn season, but of that
white-cerulcan tint which seems ever
to remind you that the winter is close
ut hand. But the clouds are often soft,
ileecy,' and comforting, and the light
which bathes the meadows has nothing
of the desert glare, nothing opthaline
in its fullness, but is rest and healing
to the weary eyes of the traveller

And often have heard mamma tell,
With loving, tender pride,
How their large school Joined in one class
To SPELL and shea little lass
In homcspun flannel gown
Stood, while the hnlf.grown scholars stared
Crhe teacher in their wonder shared,
And spelled the whole school down.
When "bdcllium," 'phthisic," "apothegm,
And other words were hurled at them
with sad, but sure effect,
My little aunt still held her place,
Hearing with flushed triumphant face
The teachers prompt "Correctl"
She was not seven when she died,
And every day close by her side,
Until she grew too i'll,
The things were kept with which she played,
In queer box her grandpa made,
And mamma keeps them still,
with other treasures she loves best,
In an old.fashioned wooden chest.
I've often seen them there.
One of those old.timc ncttcd bags,
A little doll all made OF rags,
And sewed with greatest care;
Some shells; "Peter Farley" book,
Which has very ancient look;
And there's n lock OF hair.
Soft hair, which brings back thro' the years
To mammals eyes, shining through tears,
A childish face, and fair

And hear her speak, In dreams,
Poahaps because her name is mine,
For now I'm Frances Adclne,
How strange the whole thing seems!

DIABOLlCAL TORTURES.
How Criminals Were Abused In German,
in the Good Old Times"

How Criminals Were Abused In Germany
in the Good Old Times"
o, the awful diabolical ingenuity of
those tortures! The thumb screws, the
Spanish boot, the bed of ease, which is
long, narrow plank, about ten feet
long, studded thickly with wooden
spikes, not sharp enough to really cut
the flesh, but only to bruise, pierce and
mangle it. Above this is big roller,
also studded with spikes and movable,
so that when the victim was placed naked
on the bed and drawn up and down it
by ropes attached to his hands and
feet, the roller at the same time
moved over his body. Then there
were masks that crushed in the
face, la dies from which molten lead
was poured into the ears and the palms
of the hands; the "easy chair like the
bed, only the victim sat and was rolled.
The Spanish donkey" something like
\ saw-horse, with very narrow plank
upward, upon which the naked victim
was seated, his (or heD arms bound
backward, and with very heavy
iron weights attached to the feet.
There was the "cradle," its bed and
pillow studded with spikes, upon which
the victim, always nude, was laid, and
the cradle rocked violently. Pictures
of all these tortures used to hang in
the Rath-haus, as warning to trans
gressors; truly their ways here We're
hard. There were knives for dclicately
removing the ears, hatohets for cutting
off the hands; the wheel, upon which
the poor wretch's bones were broken
one by one, till at last the coup de grace
was given by his skull being crushed.
Now we were shown chain made by n
count, who loved and was beloved by u
sister of Frederick the Great, and was
sentenced TO lifelong imprisonment.
The chain was carved from a single
sick of wood; it was very long, each
link ending in sort of spoon. 1t sug-
gested to n. that he intended to show
to the world that, though in chains he
was still spoons" upon his lady love.
Here was also an arrangement by which
the prisoner was held up and burned
under the arms by means of wisps of
straw till he confessed. That was done
as lat, as 1853 O and yet the people
talk o: the "blue laws" of Connecticut!
Why. they were rose-colorcd in COM

Horses In stabels.

In hitching horses in stalls give rope
enough only to ALLOW the animal to get
his nose down to the floor, or very near
there. Better still-a plan adopted by
many-attach weight to the inner
end of the hitching strap, giving the
latter free and easy play over roller
or smooth substance. Tho weight
should be sufficiently heavy to insure
that no slack occur in the hitching
strap, which should have no more
weight than needed. Colts or horses
that have been cntangled in the stall in
the manner referred TO are very likely,
later on, to struggle licrcely if, through
any mishap, they have trouble while in
harness. Hired men and boys very
seldom have any system in hitching,
but the sliding is reliable system
within itself, and, like rubber baud,
never slips The Horse.
